Card image for cd rom game..

I have played all the games except college football... I play the baseball game all the time... basketball next.. have done football and hockey...

explain to me card image ... is it worth it? Even if I have never had the cards to that type of game? I have bought many baseball season cards.. but none of the other... just wondering of I should give the card image a shot..

thanks for all that take the time to answer..

if you want to visualize the game as when you were using dice then card image is worth it.
If it is just a baseball simulation to you then probably not worth the extra money.

For me part of the romance of the computer game is it just automates the dice rolls and record keeping. In my mind still playing with the cards. So for me it was worth the extra money.

Another consideration is if you don't get card image initially, you can't change your mind later and add it.
